Development Strategy for the Two Oncology Compounds
- Based on the clinical potential of the two oncology compounds, focusing resources on these programs as top-priorities and pursuing the fastest possible market launch
- Determining the optimal development strategy at the next VIP* for maximizing value through indication expansions
Select and validate drug targets by leveraging the cutting-edge science and the collaboration with academia
Assess the proof-of-concept (efficacy and safety) in the early stages of clinical development by using objective indicators
At the next VIP, determine the development strategy to secure resources for indication expansions and effectively manage R&D expenses, having partnering as a primary option
Clarify the pathway to regulatory approval through constructive discussions with regulatory authorities
Identifying partners capable of appropriately evaluating the two compounds and contributing to maximizing their value
Expand clinical study sites to Europe and Asia in addition to Japan and the U.S., and drive global clinical studies forward in the highly competitive field of oncology
